hello I have a project on the go but I am finding the JS api documentation very lacking I have it working for the most part with the older spark.min.js but I want to update to the new particle.min.js but there is no examples that seem to make much sense for the new one and they are not just a drop in replacement granted my programming skills are week but I have some time and I like to tinker can someone point me in a direction of a repo somewhere or a example of this in use with a function so I can see how to put it into practical use ---

If you want to do this from a web page in a browser, as opposed to node.js, I previously wrote up a sample that might be helpful: > [@Web Page Sample Code using Particle API JS](https://community.particle.io/t/web-page-sample-code-using-particle-api-js/21590): > > I hadn’t used the Particle API JS from a web page yet, so I made a little circuit and little sample web page to test it out. It worked well for me and I thought others might find it useful for tips and tricks. For example, it shows how to do authentication without storing the username and password in the Javascript code and saving the access token so you don’t need to enter your username and password every time without any server-side code, other than the Particle cloud, of course. Here’s the c… ---

thank you for your reply and I probably need more hand holding but I can not find where you call your particle.callfunction is at all the jquery is almost unreadable but then again I have never used jqurey ---

ok finally 10 attempts later why does the preformed text button not just put the tags in for you rather than tell you indent it all 4 spaces this is what I have so far that works I get what I want to photon but its using the old spark api not the particle one and I would rather use the current version thats not likely to stop working as fast and I suspect that a few other bumps I have found might be smoothed out in the newer code ```auto

``` I know this is pretty simple stuff and I plan on making a pretty UI for it as this goes on but it is a project for me and while i do plan on sharing it I am making it work for my needs not building a product so things can be rough and dirty for a while once I get this working I am sure others will find my stuff useful but its a good size project that I can keep picking away at and learning and thats what I need ---

> [@Broncosis](#): > > why does the preformed text button not just put the tags in for you rather than tell you indent it all 4 spaces I've reformatted your text. The easiest to insert code blocks is by wrapping them into something like this ````plaintext ```html ```` ```cpp // here comes your C++ block ``` ```auto *(These are so called ***grave accents*** - not to be mistaken for single quotes)* ``` ---

@Broncosis I’m writing a terminal app that uses the new ParticleJS API. The current version of the code is pretty complex, but this smaller early version should hopefully be reasonably easy to follow: > The current version is [here](https://github.com/kh90909/OakTerm) if you want to see what it’s evolved into. ---

thanks for the help I was able to resolve this after talking with a friend for a bit I will post the new code in a little bit I need sleep now
